I reckon the fit-pic collage sounds like a fair bit of work, not sure jaypee will necessarily be up for doing that. lol.
Romp, do soft shoulders cost more for PJohnson or are all their cuts priced the same, and it's finishing that raises the price?

depends on the shoulder - i think the original soft shoulder is same price and the slightly ruffled (is it called neapolitean?) ones are more

Also 1/4 lining is more, hand finishing, certain fabrics

Im also not sure if lighter padding/canvassing is a general improvement he has made or an option

Anyone remember my friend, the one who was going to buy a Hugo Boss suit for his wedding for $1,400? Well he showed me his suit yesterday--navy cotton from MJ Bale for $1,000 less. It looked great. So happy

MJ Bale are now my default suit recommendation. They really don't have much competition, imo...

That's great! I might have to get serious about trying one. So far Herringbone Osaka cut are the only OTR jackets I've found that fit me decently, and they're just overpriced when not on sale I believe. And I've yet to see anything decent on sale. So given it appears that MJB have a very similar cut in their line-up they're sounding like a good option. I'll have to grit my teeth and set foot in DJ again and check them out.. :-)
